The objective of the study was to analyse the sedimentation rate and sediment accumulation at the estuary of the Rokan River. Sediment samples were collected from 3 sampling points, i.e. Southern, Western and Northern of Berkey Island. The samples were then analysed using 210Pb radioisotope of the alpha spectrometer. The bottom of the Rokan River estuary is dominated by fine silt. It was recorded that sedimentation rate in Southern, Western, and Northern of Berkey Island were 0.3, 0.22, and 0.28 cm/year, respectively. The accumulation of sediment in each station was as follows; 3.13, 2.88, and 3.42 ton/ha/year. The age of sediment in the Southern Berkey Island was 23,71 years at depth 14 cm, Western Berkey Island was 64,26 years, and in Northern Berkey Island was 26,59 years. Sedimentation rate inside was higher than outside of the estuary. Higher sediment accumulation was noted at the outer part of the estuary compared to the inner part. The sediments found in the central part of the estuary are older than those inside and outside.

Mandeh Bay is a semi-enclosed water area that there are two main estuaries, Mandeh and Nyalo River estuary. Sedimentation issue has been gotten worse due to the massive development in coastal area. This study aims to determine the sediment accumulation within Mandeh bay and its distribution patterns. The measurement of sedimentation rate applied in the Mandeh and Nyalo Estuaries. Oceanography parameters (tides and currents) recorded for 30 days measurement. The thickness of sediment accumulation was predicted by applying single beam echosounder dual frequency. The calculation of sediment volume was done using frustum formula grid 10 x10 meters. Flow model approach was also simulated to depict the distribution pattern of sediment. The thickness of sediment accumulation categorized into five spatial categories that are 0-0,3m, 0,4-0,6m, 0,7-0,9,1-1,2m, and 1,3-1,5m. The sedimentation rate in Mandeh estuary ranged from 60,85 up to 62,16 g.m-2.day-1, while in Nyalo estuary is approximately 48,86 g.m-2.day-1. The tidal current speed that is weak ranged from 0-0,05 m/s induces the sediment accumulation which mainly occurs during the neap tidal conditions. The thickness of sediment accumulation which is more than one meter identified around Mandeh River estuary and several areas near Carocok Tarusan Port where the sediment intake takes place and due to the weak current feature, it causes the increase of sedimentation in this region.  Teluk mandeh merupakan kawasan teluk semi tertutup yang mempunyai 2 muara sungai besar yaitu sungai Mandeh dan sungai Nyalo. Masalah sedimentasi menjadi semakin parah karena pengembangan wilayah pesisir yang masif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ketebalan akumulasi sedimen di dalam Teluk Mandeh dan pola distribusinya. Pengukuran laju sedimentasi dilakukan pada dua fokus area yakni muara Sungai Mandeh dan Sungai Nyalo. Pengukuran parameter oseanografi (arus dan pasang surut) dilakukan selama 30 hari pengukuran. Ketebalan akumulasi sedimen diukur menggunakan alat Single Beam Echosounder Dual Frekuensi. Perhitungan volume sedimen dihitung dengan rumus frustum grid 10x10 meter. Simulasi flow model juga dilakukan untuk mengetahui pola distribusi sedimen. Sebaran ketebalan sedimen yang dibagi dalam 5 kategori spasial yakni 0-0,3m, 0,4-0,6m, 0,7-0,9,1-1,2m, dan 1,3-1,5m. Laju sedimentasi di muara Sungai Mandeh berkisar antara 60,85 sampai 62,16 g.m-2.hari-1 dan di muara Sungai Nyalo rata-rata 48,86 g.m-2.hari-1. Kecepatan arus pasang surut yang cukup lemah berkisar antara 0-0,05 m/s menyebabkan potensi akumulasi sedimen akan berlangsung terutama saat kondisi perbani. Sedimen dengan ketebalan lebih dari 1 meter teridentifikasi di sekitar Sungai Mandeh dan beberapa Kawasan Pelabuhan Carocok Tarusan dimana asupan sedimen mendominasi. Karena karakteristik arus yang lemah, sedimentasi meningkat diwilayah ini.

Results of the analysis of twenty-three composite sediment samples revealed that PAHs are widely distributed in the Brisbane River estuary. Mean concentrations for individual compounds, on a dry weight basis, ranged from 0.03 µg/g for dibenz [ah] anthracene to 2.34 µg/g for fluoranthene. Observed PAH assemblages were rich in compounds having pyrolytic origins. However, the presence of petroleum derived compounds was indicative of the importance of petroleum as a PAH source in the estuary. Petroleum refineries, a coal loading terminal and a major treated sewage outfall located at the mouth were not indicated as major contributing sources of PAH pollution in the estuary.

Abstract This study evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution and density of the bivalve Donax striatus, at beaches close to the Apodi/Mossoró River estuary, through, six semiannual sampling campaigns were performed between April/2009 and October/2011. The sampled area was delimited by 20 transects that were laid perpendicular to the beach line and extended over 300 m in the intertidal zone. Seven sampling points were established in each transect, organisms and sediment were collected, and water temperature and salinity were recorded. The highest D. striatus average density (103 individuals.m–2) was observed in April/2009 and the lowest (18 individuals.m–2) in October/2010. The highest D. striatus densities occurred in beaches further from the estuarine region as demonstrated by a significant positive correlation (r2 = 0.67 and p = 0.0007). The D. striatus densities presented significant negative correlations with the percentages of organic matter in the water. This species demonstrated an aggregated distribution in the studied area.

The spatial distribution of biogenic silica (BSi) in the surficial sediments of Lake Michigan is described from Shipek grab samples collected in 1975 and gravity cores obtained in 1983. Significantly smaller surficial BSi concentrations in the 1975 samples were attributed primarily to the inability of a Shipek grab to collect intact surficial sediment samples. Lower concentrations o.f BSi were found in nondepositional and transitional areas of sediment accumulation than in depositional basins. Therefore, BSi accumulation is restricted primarily to the 40% of the lake bottom where sediments are presently accumulating. High concentrations found in Green Bay surficial sediments are related to high productivity in the bay coupled with inputs of new silica from the Fox River. In the open lake, BSi concentrations of surficial sediments in depositional basins appeared to vary inversely with sedimentation rate in that lower BSi concentrations were found in areas with higher sedimentation rates.

<div> <p>Sediment provenance is of key importance for understanding transport history and characterising sediment source regions in the marine and terrestrial environment. Radiogenic isotopes are widely used to identify inland and coastal sediment origins. They document changes in detrital terrigenous sediment fluxes which can be related to continental hydrological variability. Understanding sediment sources to the ocean is a pre-requisite before interpreting past climate archives in marine sediment cores.</p> </div><div> <p><span>South African coastal drainage basins are composed of various geological units, each reflected by different radiogenic isotope signals in the sediment. In addition to the age and nature of their source rocks, the sediment type influences this radiogenic signature.</span></p> </div><div> <p><span>Here, we present a review of the present-day radiogenic isotopic fingerprints of South African river catchments signals from new river sediment samples with the aim to gain a broad spatial coverage of the source rocks in the region and their relative contributions of terrigenous sediment delivered to the ocean. This information will be applied to marine sediment core MD20-3591 (36° 43.707 S; 22° 9.151 E, water depth 2464m), located offshore South Africa which has the potential to record both Agulhas Current and terrestrial variability. The core site receives a significant amount of terrigenous material from the African continents via riverine input. During the last glacial period, these rivers flowed across the continental shelf within a subdued incised valley. The Gourritz River catchment drains the Cape Supergroup and Karoo Supergroup, typical of these southern drainage basins, whereas the eastern Cape rivers drain the Karoo Supergroup geological unit which is capped by the Drakensberg basalts.</span></p> </div><div> <p><span>We are using the knowledge gained from these new South African terrestrial river sediment samples to identify the sources and transport pathways of the terrigenous sediments in MD20-3591. Of particular interest is the sensitivity of the radiogenic isotopic signatures to grain size variabilities and how this relationship can help to define local or distal sediments. These records will allow us to explore variability in regional hydroclimate in relation to the abundant archaeological evidence of cultural and technological innovations of Middle Stone Age humans in southern Africa.</span></p> </div>

The purpose of this research was to investigate the accumulation of plastic debris in the Wonorejo River Estuary, Surabaya, Indonesia. Visible plastic debris were collected from three (3) sampling points along the intertidal area of Wonorejo River Estuary. The correlation between sampling points (SPs) and the amount of the collected plastic debris (CPD) was analysed using one-way ANOVA. Result of one-way ANOVA showed that the sampling point was significantly affect the amount of the collected plastic debris (p<0.05). A further analysis using Tukey’s Significance Honest Test indicating a significantly higher CPD on SP2 compared to the SP1 and SP3 (p<0.05). The amount of CPD were 126.07±12.00 g dry weight/m2 from SP1, 375.97±16.72 g dry weight/m2 from SP2, and 291.13±36.28 g dry weight/m2 from SP3. The highest percentage of collected debris item was plastic bags (up to 57.90%), followed by bottle caps (up to 16.65%). The most identified plastic types were Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) (up to 73.13%), followed by Polypropylene (PP) (up to 17.22%). Understanding the accumulation of plastic debris in estuary is a fundamental requirement to conduct an advance research related to the marine plastic pollution and to determine further actions to solve this problem.
